Google Wave now lets anyone with a Google account jump in and see what the early adopters have been squawking (and snarking) about. Head to wave.google.com now to get Waving, but read on for some beginner tips and use cases.

As noted, Google/Gmail users can head to wave.google.com and start tinkering right away. If you're a Google Apps user, your administrator can also enable Google Wave for group use right now—the details are explained at the Google Enterprise blog. Tell us what you think of Wave as a new user, or a veteran watching the progress, in the comments.
